To enrich our guests' island experience we have identified several activities that our guests can do during their stay. On this page we have grouped the most popular ones. Let us know in advance if you are interested and we will organise them for you!
Immersed in a nature reserve, charged with volcanic energy, overlooking a breathtaking sunset and
characterised by peacefulness and silence, Pollara is a perfect oasis for yoga and meditation activities.
That's why in June, September and October we organise yoga events and collaborate with a Sicilian teacher who, on request, holds classes at the Locanda.
Salina is known as the Green Island, the most fertile of the seven sisters and the island with the best wine production. In fact, the island is home to more than 10 wine cellars with a great history and tradition. It will be a pleasure for us to guide you through the different cellars to discover the best wines of the Aeolian Islands. We also collaborate with farms and forestry guides to provide our clients with unique experiences such as wine tastings in the mountains and culinary tours to discover the first fruits of Salina.
The history of the Locanda restaurant began with our Amelia's love of cooking. She was the first who managed the kitchen for many years, working with wisdom and passion the best local products and preparing typical Sicilian and Aeolian dishes according to tradition. Now that the kitchen is run by our chef, in the low season months Mrs Amelia enjoys showing our guests how to prepare traditional Sicilian dishes. Ask in advance if you would like to take part in a class.
Salina is located in the centre of the Aeolian archipelago, which makes it a strategic island for exploring the other six sisters. Boats specialised in Aeolian discovery trips depart daily from the island, showing guests the island's most beautiful coves and taking them to discover the beauty of the other islands. Crystal-clear sea, clean air and clear skies frame the trips in the Aeolian sea and, if you are lucky, you will have magical encounters with dolphins and turtles.
Didyme (twins, in ancient Greek), was Salina's first name. This derives from the fact that the two mountains that make up the island, Monte Fossa delle Felci and Monte dei Porri, look like twin volcanoes when seen from the sea. Today, both mountains are protected nature reserves and are criss-crossed by a myriad of trails leading to the island's peaks and villages.
Salina is the perfect place for an underwater adventure holiday. The island is surrounded by shallows and underwater caves where you can have magical encounters and enjoy a unique and ever-changing seabed.
Moreover, being at the centre of the archipelago, you can easily reach all the other islands and enjoy a seafaring holiday. In Salina there are two diving centres run by experienced mariners who will take you on unique excursions according to your experience and what you want.
